Welcome to this supportive community! Having these conversations with young adult children can feel overwhelming, but approaching it with honesty while reassuring them of your treatment plan often helps them process the news better. Many parents in similar situations have found success in choosing a quiet moment to share the facts clearly, emphasizing that you have a medical team and support system in place, and giving them space to ask questions and express their feelings.
